8888Mi'ja Never Lend Your Mop (Back Cover) Brigid Milligan’s voice is haunting and memorable, a hybrid union of fresh sensuality, intuitive wisdom, and the passionate imagination of a poet—one whose words and vision are absolutely her own. 8888—Marjorie Agosín Dancing on an eloquent, silver thread, balancing between youth and depth, this poet brings a refreshing honesty to themes of nurturance, liberation, and philosophical exploration. And while this book is her first—literally, Milligan is no “pequena.” 8888—Carmen Tafolla Out of the mouths of babes come astonishing truths that quietly rock us.... At seventeen, Brigid Milligan already has discovered that we tend to live during those moments that give us / the best memories . . .' and that too often "we classify, analyze, scrutinize, prioritize, subdivide, / walk on by those truths that trap us. " But her poetic voice comes alive as well in her contagious joie de vivre—in poems about her familial and extended ties, within which she celebrates her growing up as a distinct new breed of Irish-mestiza Chicana. Mi'ja, Never Lend Your Mop . . . &: Other Poems is Brigd's first hook of poetry, and we at M&A Editions are very proud to be los padrinos. 8888—Angela de Hoyos |

En Parénthesis Alicia Z. Galvan revela lo que todo mundo sabe:
que tarde o temprano todos viajamos por "el camino empapado con el
flujo de lagrimas," Sin embargo Paréntesis no es una
poesía de desconsolación sino que una afirmación
del alivio que la letra forja. |
